Fountain Movement Flower

ABSTRACT

This invention is about a fountain movement flower, which includes a hollow outer barrel, the upper opening of inner chamber and its lower end connecting with water supply pipes through water inlet. The inner tank is inside the inner chamber of outer barrel. When inner chamber is charged with water, inner tank can float upward; artificial flowers are set in the upper section of inner tank. When they are within the inner chamber of outer barrel, the petals are closed. When the inner chamber is filled with water, the flowers float to the chamber opening and open their petals, a sight of splendid blossom. This invention has simple structure and clever design, and it can be placed various spectator fountains, water pools and horticultural fountains. When the water level inside outer barrel is rising, the artificial flowers rise in the outer barrel&#39;s inner chamber along the inner tank, and spread their petals at the upper opening of outer barrel&#39;s inner chamber, a dynamic sight of beautiful blossom. When the water level within the outer barrel is falling, the artificial flowers withdraw along the inner tank to hide in the inner chamber, extraordinary enticing.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATION

This patent application claims the priority of the Chinese patentapplication No. 200820132472.2 filed on Aug. 15, 2008, which isincorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention touches upon the technical area of handicraft article, aspecial artificial flower used in spectator fountain, water pool andhorticultural fountain.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, people often need to plant some flowers where there arespectator fountains, water pools and horticultural fountains. The costsare relatively high to plant flowers and it is restrained by manyobjective conditions. Although it is convenient and of lower cost to useartificial flowers, they cannot show the process of blossom and achievevery limited effects.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Specific to the deficiency of current technology, this invention aims toprovide a flower that can rise can fall for the fountain. This flowercan create a sight of blossom by means of rising water level and thefloating force. The flower can hide itself when the water level falls.

To achieve the above, this practical fountain movement flower includes:

One outer barrel with hollow inner chamber; there is the opening in theupper end of inner chamber, and its lower end is linked with watersupply pipe through water inlet.

Inner tank: it is located inside the inner chamber of outer barrel. Whenthe inner chamber is serviced with water, the inner tank rises.

Artificial flowers: they are set in the upper end of inner tank. Whenthey are in the inner chamber of outer barrel, the petals close. Theartificial flower is made by elastic petals which spread out. When theinner chamber is filled up with water, the flowers rise along the innertank to the opening in the upper end of inner chamber, the petalsnaturally spreading out, and a sight of blossom.

There is a water outlet connecting with inner chamber in the upper endof the side wall of the said outer barrel.

The said inner tank is hollow with weights inside.

The said inner tank is consisted of upper cover linked by screw threadand main body of inner tank. The weights are put inside inner tankthrough the opening in the top of main body of inner tank.

There is a mounting flange in the upper end of outer barrel.

The said outer barrel and inner tank are both in cylindrical shape.

This invention has simple structure and clever design, and it can beplaced various spectator fountains, water pools and horticulturalfountains. When the water level inside outer barrel is rising, theartificial flowers rise in the outer barrel's inner chamber along theinner tank, and spread their petals at the upper opening of outerbarrel's inner chamber, a dynamic sight of beautiful blossom. When thewater level within the outer barrel is falling, the artificial flowerswithdraw along the inner tank to hide in the inner chamber,extraordinary enticing.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The following is a better execution example that embodies the principlesof this invention, which thus does not limit the protection scope ofthis invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the fountain flower of this practical newmodal includes:

A cylindrical Outer Barrel 10, with hollow Inner Chamber 101. There isan Opening 11 in the upper end of Inner Chamber 11. There is a MountingFlange 12 outside the opening. Outer Barrel 10 can be stabilized whereit is needed by means of the screw going through Mounting Flange 12. Inthe lower end of Inner Chamber 101, there is Water Inlet 13 that linkswith water supply pipe. When the pump in the fountain begins to pumpwater, the water enters Inner Chamber 101 of Outer Barrel 10 throughWater Inlet 13. Water Outlet 101, which links with Inner Chamber 101,can be set in the upper section of Outer Barrel 10's side wall.

Inner Tank 20 in cylindrical shape is set within the inner chamber ofOuter Barrel. When outer barrel's inner chamber is serviced with water,Inner Tank 20 floats. Inner Tank 20 is consisted of Upper Cover 21 andhollow Inner Tank Main Body 22 to control the rising speed and stabilityof Inner Tank 20. Upper Cover 21 is linked with Inner Tank Main Body 22by the screw thread. Weights 201, such as sand or metal block, can beplaced inside Inner Tank Main Body 22.

Underneath Artificial Flower 30, there is an Inserted Link 31, which isinserted inside Inner Tank 20 to stabilize Artificial Flower 30 in theupper section of Inner Tank 20. When the fountain pump begins to pumpwater, Inner Chamber 101 of Outer Barrel 10 is serviced with water andwater level begins to rise. When Artificial Flower 30 rises along withInner Tank 20 to the Opening 11 of upper section of Inner Chamber, theflower pedals spread, creating an enticing sight of blossom as shown inFIG. 1. When the pump stops pumping water, water level in Inner Chamber101 begins to fall and Artificial Flower 30 withdraws along with innertank into Inner Chamber 101, and the pedals close by the force of thewall of Inner Chamber 101, as shown in FIG. 2.

When used with fountains and water pools, this invention can haveregular or irregular blossom. When the pump pumps water to Inner Chamberof Outer Barrel 10 on a regular or irregular basis, Artificial Flower 30can blossom regularly or irregularly.

1. A fountain flower comprising: an outer barrel with a hollow innerchamber, there is an opening in the upper end of the inner chamber and alower end linked with a water supply of a fountain; an inner tank, whichis located inside the inner chamber of the outer barrel, when the innerchamber is serviced with water, the inner tank rises; the inner chamberhas a water outlet near the upper end for water flooding when the wateris over the water outlet; the inner tank includes an upper cover and abody of the inner tank, both are linked by screw; bob-weights are put inthe inner tank, and the bob-weights can be adjusted according torequirement by opening the upper cover of the inner tank; an artificialflower, which is set in the upper end of the inner tank, thereby theartificial flower follows the inner tank to rise or sink.
 2. Thefountain flower of claim 1, wherein the artificial flower is made byelastic petals which spread out, thereby when the artificial flowerrises to the opening of the inner chamber, the petals spread outnaturally.
